Volume 3 Chapter 188 Drifting Away
The sky is blue, the wilderness is vast, and the wind blows the grass and shows the cattle and sheep......
A cavalry force of about 2,000 cavalry was walking on the grassland, which was the Liaodong elite cavalry led by Lu Lingqi. It's just that although they are in a state www.biquge.info of marching, their destination is not very clear, because with the increasing stability and strength of Lu Ren in the Liaodong region, a large number of Fuyu tribes have moved north, and they are no longer as rampant as before, making the area north of Liaodong form a situation that is almost "uninhabited within a thousand miles". If in the past, you could see a large or small tribe after walking for dozens of miles, but now you may not see any people after walking for two days or three days.
And Lu Lingqi, the main executor who caused this situation, is not so much taking these two thousand horsemen to attack at this moment, but rather taking two thousand horsemen out to go out. Anyway, it had been two days since they came out of the city of Shenyang that was under construction, and they had not been able to see any of the remaining tribes, but they had stopped and hunted a lot of prey on the grassland.
At this time, it is already the summer and autumn season of June and July, and the prey on the grassland has begun to fatten, although Lu Lingqi and they have not encountered any husbands and tribes, but these prey have also made them harvest a lot. When I set up camp every day, I barbecued meat and drank wine, and I was comfortable living a small life.
It's time to set up camp at dusk again, and the two thousand elite horsemen have set up camp, what should they do next? Whether you want to drink wine and barbecue, or if you want to find a place to "communicate" between men and women. It must be made clear here that due to the existence of female generals such as Lu Lingqi, Zhao Yu, and Tuoba Yu, there are many strong female cavalry under Lu Ren's command. In addition, most of these cavalry are from ethnic minorities such as Xianbei and Karasuma, and they are relatively open in terms of folk customs and ideological concepts, so they ......
Well, there is no need to say anything about this, and there are some things that Lu Ren is not convenient to take care of too much. And in order to avoid some unnecessary troubles, Lu Ren's countermeasures are also a bit laughable...... You can fool around if you want to mess around, but you all have to put a condom on Lao Tzu, don't meow for the sake of a momentary pleasure that causes female soldiers to have a big belly and affect combat effectiveness! If you dare not listen, Lao Tzu still has strict military laws here!
Let's gossip again, Lu Ren already has this thing here, after all, Lu Ren already has rubber on his hands. In addition, because Lu Ren pursued a population policy of "eugenics", it was strictly forbidden for women to have children before the age of 20, but in some ways it could not be too contrary to the traditional thinking of the time.
After all, there are some deep-rooted traditional ideas that Lu Ren can not reverse in more than ten years, and can only be managed in a semi-coercive way, and will only sincerely accept them after people's cultural level is further improved and they really understand the reasonableness. And before that, Lu Ren also had to find a way to play a dozen side balls first, so this also led to Lu Ren having to get the sleeve out of this thing, it was by no means that Lu Ren had any dirty thoughts.
The gossip didn't go too far, just said that there was everything in the camp, and Lu Lingqi ran back to her big tent after inspecting the guard post, and as soon as she entered the tent, she saw Sun Shangxiang sitting there with her head on her hands, and she didn't know what Sun Shangxiang was thinking at this time.
"Shang Xiang, what are you thinking?"
Sun Shangxiang came back to his senses in a daze, and quickly responded: "No, I didn't think about anything." ”
Lu Lingqi rolled her eyes at Sun Shangxiang: "It's strange if you don't think about anything!" Didn't I say you, what else is there to say between our sisters? If you have anything on your mind, tell me and listen to it! ”
Not to mention, Lu Lingqi and Sun Shangxiang are about the same age and temperament, and they have mixed together in the women's army in Yizhou, so the relationship will naturally be very good. If you really want to talk about it, it's a bit like the "what have you done together" between men.
If he wants to change to someone else, Sun Shangxiang will definitely not speak, but he is facing his best friend Lu Lingqi, plus he really has something stuffy in his heart, and he really wants to find someone to talk to, so after hesitating for a while, Sun Shangxiang finally opened his lips and teeth: "Lingqi, I want to ask you something." ”
Lu Lingqi casually threw the wine bag over: "What's the matter?" ”
Sun Shangxiang took the wine bag but didn't open it, but kneaded it in his hand a few times before he spoke: "Lingqi, you are a few years older than me, so have you ever thought about getting married?" ”
Lu Lingqi was stunned, and then shook her head: "Marry?" I hadn't really thought much of it. Because I don't look down on ordinary men, and I don't want to be controlled. ”
Sun Shangxiang hesitated: "How do you say this?" ”
Lu Lingqi sat down next to Sun Shangxiang, and then said to Sun Shangxiang while shaking her fingers: "Let's not talk about identity and status, after all, we are not so snobbish." It's just Shang Xiang, have you ever thought that our situation is a little different from that of ordinary women, but we are in important positions as a woman, and we have to run around on weekdays. If you really get married, your husband's parents-in-law, three aunts and eight aunts will inevitably have some complaints about this, and it will be very annoying just thinking about it. So instead of worrying about those gossip after getting married, let's not get married, but still be happy. ”
Saying that, Lu Lingqi pointed to the weapon rack in the tent again, and said proudly: "And you want to marry me?" It has to be better than the halberd and sword in my hand! ”
Sun Shangxiang was suddenly dumbfounded. Win against Lu Lingqi? It's not easy to say elsewhere, but in Yizhou, who doesn't know that Lu Lingqi's force value is among the top ten generals in Yizhou? If it is only based on foot combat swordsmanship, Sun Shangxiang thinks that he is not Lu Lingqi's opponent. Therefore, if you want to conquer Lu Lingqi by force, it is inevitably a bit difficult.
Looking at Lu Lingqi at this time, she tilted her head and thought about it, and then smiled: "Actually, if you really look at the right eye and think that it is suitable for each other, it doesn't matter if I wronged myself a little." Well, I haven't really been able to look down on anyone so far...... By the way, Shang Xiang, why did you suddenly remember to ask about this? ”
Sun Shangxiang immediately stopped talking, and said, "Ah, I, I'm ......"
Lu Lingqi also seemed to remember something at this time, and immediately said suddenly: "Yes, I'm confused!" Uncle Lu, he proposed to Jiangdong for Boyan's little brother, and your brother also agreed to come down. Speaking of which, Brother Boyan is very good, although he is a little worse in martial arts, but he is capable of strategy, and now he is Uncle Lu's right and left hand. The most important thing is that if the two of you really get together, I think it's a good match. ”
Sun Shangxiang glared at Lu Lingqi with some anger after hearing this, and then lowered his head silently. Lu Lingqi's personality is relatively big, how can she understand Sun Shangxiang's situation at this time? Seeing that Sun Shangxiang was silent, Lu Lingqi didn't know how to speak, so she had to follow Sun Shangxiang and fall silent.
After a long time, Sun Shangxiang said in a low voice: "Lingqi, you are my good sister, so I won't hide it from you." Actually, in fact, I have already had a little feeling between me and Bo Yan, but because of my special identity that I was concerned about, Bo Yan and I were careful to restrain ourselves. ”
Saying that, Sun Shangxiang smiled strangely: "It's okay to tell you." Bo Yan and I will always frown, but that's all, we won't do anything that crosses the line, because we both understand some things and worry about some things, so no one dares to do anything excessive. I thought that this would be the case in the future, and at some point I would return to Koto and marry someone I probably didn't even know. But when I suddenly heard that Mr. Lu proposed marriage to my brother, and my brother agreed, I was actually very happy in my heart, but I just didn't know why...... Alas! I don't even know what to say. Lingqi, you know I'm not the kind of person who is timid and afraid, but I just can't figure out how I don't know how to be a little scared in this matter, but what I'm afraid of, I can't tell myself......"
Sun Shangxiang didn't know what he was afraid of, and Lu Lingqi didn't know how to pick up Sun Shangxiang's words at all, and it could even be said that with Lu Lingqi's character, she couldn't understand Sun Shangxiang's mentality at all. After hesitating for a while, Lu Lingqi remembered that when she was preparing to attack a few days ago, Lu Ren had quietly pulled her aside, and the words she had confessed to her, she couldn't help crying and laughing in her heart: "Uncle Lu, it seems that only you can do these things." It's ridiculous that although I'm also a woman, how can I understand these twists and turns? ”
As soon as she thought of this, Lu Lingqi stretched out her hand and patted Sun Shangxiang's back hard, and said with a wicked smile: "Why do you want to do so much?" We're here to play, it's good to be at ease, why are we pitying ourselves here for those stinky men? Besides, our sisters are not ordinary women, we have the opportunity to make contributions, so why do we have to hide behind those stinky men? If you love to marry or not, if you don't marry and pull down, we can't look at their faces. ”
Sun Shangxiang looked at Lu Lingqi, and after rolling her eyes a few times, she nodded thoughtfully.
This is Lu Ren's absence, if Lu Ren is present, he will go up to Lu Lingqi and give Lu Lingqi a kick, and then yell at Lu Lingqi, "What do you say is not good to say this."
Lu Ren also didn't expect that it was because of Lu Lingqi's mentality and big personality that Sun Shangxiang, who was now at a critical point and needed a little correct guidance, was a little distorted in some aspects, and as a result, Sun Shangxiang changed a little in the next development......
――――――――――――――――――――
Lu Lingqi and Sun Shangxiang will not mention it for the time being, because according to this plan, Lu Lingqi will turn around in the north of Liaodong for half a month before coming back. If something happens, there may be people who come back after a month.
By the way, the actual scope of the line drawn by Lu Ren on the map before is not large, and it is not small to say that it is not small, and its actual area has reached the southern part of the Horqin Sandy Land in Inner Mongolia in later generations. It can be roughly understood that Lu Ren drew a semicircle with Shenyang City as the center of the circle, with a radius of about 150 kilometers, and drew some southern areas of the Horqin Sandy Land.
In a larger area, Lu Ren didn't dare to scribble. One hundred and fifty kilometers, which is 360 Han li when converted into the Han system, is the effective military range of my own place at present. If it is beyond this range, there will be problems in many aspects when something happens, and Lu Ren will not dare to mess around before Liaodong has not developed. Strength? Yes, but if you mess around without seeing the actual situation, you are dead.
Lu Lingqi and Sun Shangxiang couldn't come back for a while, but Lu Ren couldn't be idle, because the envoy team led by Cao Chong had already come to Liaodong, and Lu Ren of course wanted to entertain him well.
I won't say much about those scene-based and formulaic things, anyway, Cao Chong negotiated with Lu Ren in a decent manner, and Lu Ren also responded in a decent manner...... Everyone knows a lot of things, but Lu Ren is borrowing a donkey from the slope, and some scenes on the bright side always have to be shown to others.
You must know that in addition to Cao Chong, Yang Xiu, and Zhou Budo, there are many people in Cao Chong's envoy group who can be regarded as the "business representatives" of the wealthy families in Lao Cao's territory. These people were all counting on Lu Ren to send a message so that trade between the Hebei region and Yizhou could be resumed. And Lu Ren did say to Lao Cao in the letter that he would help Lao Cao take the blame, but Lu Ren couldn't really pull all the hatred points on himself, right?
So, in the decent negotiation meeting between the two sides, Lu Ren promised to resume trade with Hebei as soon as possible, but the corresponding Lu Ren also made his bottom line here, that is, you people should stop thinking about taking Lao Cao to the throne. As for his political excuse, it is nothing more than to move Liu Bang's "White Horse Alliance" out again, saying that it "violates the ancestral system (principle) and is easy to provoke the name of transgression", and said that "Lu cherishes his name and is afraid of provoking the suspicion of aiding and abetting rebellion, so he does not want to do it"...... That's what it meant anyway.
Of course, as far as Lu Ren is concerned, Lu Ren is not a loyal minister of the Han family, and as a modern person and a traverser, he absolutely does not take the royal family seriously. In addition to earning political capital, the most important and deepest reason why Lu Ren insisted on maintaining the Han dynasty was that if Lu Ren wanted to influence the ideology of various parts of China, he had to avoid the occurrence of such a thing as "changing the dynasty" as much as possible.
Why? Because once the dynasty is "changed", the new royal class will inevitably start to do those things that maintain the imperial power and stabilize the rule, and to put it bluntly, it will engage in spiritual and ideological means. And in the history of China, in order to engage in these things to maintain the rule, where will there be less things to kill heroes and promote literary prisons? Especially for emerging ideas and free speech, it is even more unscrupulous to block them.
And at this point, Lu Ren, who is now experienced in society, knows very well that what he wants to do is definitely unacceptable to the imperial class, especially the emerging royal family.
Let's put it this way, roughly, and then unify it, what Lu Ren wants to do is a bit like a constitutional monarchy, and the constitutional monarchy has very big restrictions on imperial power, where is this acceptable to the emerging imperial family? So you can almost think of it with your toes, once there is a change of dynasty, Lu Ren's side is definitely the number one target. If it really gets to that point, the final result of scheming Lu Ren can only be to take those people in his family to go overseas.
At present, the decline of the Liu family's imperial power and the strength of the wealthy family class have too many drawbacks in many places, but in a sense, isn't it just the right time to accept some ideas of a constitutional monarchy? And those wealthy families, if you can look at them from another perspective and see them as large and small political parties, are they quite a little similar? The difference may only lie in whether it is possible to change some ideas and limit them in some ways?
(PS: I can't write about these anymore, and the bottle doesn't understand politics.) The above can be regarded as the nonsense and nonsense of the bottle, and Chunquen is a setting made for the development of the plot. So please don't take it seriously! )
Okay, these things don't talk about anymore, just say that after the business is settled, Lu Ren arranged a banquet to entertain everyone, and at the same time introduced some new things from Yizhou to these people by the way. In that posture, there are so many new product launches in modern society, and the bidding of agents is carried out. And these new products have really made the "business representatives" of the wealthy families rush to them, and they have expressed their desire to obtain the agency...... Well, there was no such word back then, and that's what it meant anyway.
Lu Ren did this, of course, to show these wealthy families their sincerity to resume trade, and at the same time, it can also be seen as the sweet dates that Lu Ren threw out after a messy meal.
And Lu Ren knew very well in his heart that after he made a big move like a trade embargo this time, and it can be said that he was a great success, with Lao Cao's shrewdness, he would definitely pay attention to it, and then what would follow would be a series of countermeasures by Lao Cao.
If you want to deal with the means that Lao Cao may use, the better way is to further grasp and grasp those wealthy families who have received benefits, and use huge profits to tie up these wealthy families. Maybe this is the only way to make Lao Cao throw a mouse when he wants to use those means. After all, no matter how ruthless and vicious Lao Cao is, he can't fight with these wealthy families. If Lao Cao is really ruthless and wants to scold these wealthy families......
Hehe, in that case, it's strange that there won't be a big mess in Lao Cao's territory! And once Lao Cao's territory is in chaos, Liu Bei and Sun Quan are not fuel-efficient lamps! And why did Lu Ren deliberately maintain the situation of these three parties? Isn't it just to check and balance each other, contain each other, and then use this check and balance between each other to profit from it in order to achieve the goal in your heart? It's just that Lu Ren at the beginning simply wanted to seek a way to protect himself, and he didn't expect that he could use this part now......
――――――――――――――――――――
(Suddenly I feel that the pattern is a little too big?) But it should be about the same for this one. In addition, the book is about to reach its final stage, and the bottle is also relieved. After writing, the bottle will be able to complete the original regrets, and then go to open a new book with peace of mind. And the bottle is here to speak, after the completion of this book, I will never write about the Three Kingdoms in the future, I am really tired!! )
